After Mears recovered from an ankle injury in 2014, the pair won their first gold medal - at the 2014 Commonwealth games in Glasgow.

Laugher also won gold in the 1m springboard and silver in the 3m springboard in Glasgow.

The medals soon started adding up with a gold at the World diving series in 2015 and two bronze medals at the World Championships.

Away from the Olympics, Laugher won two gold medals at the 2016 European Championships (3m syncho, 3m springboard) and three golds at the 2018 Commonwealth Games on the gold coast (1m springboard, 3m springboard, 3m synchro).
